Aluminium plate/sheet/bar stock offcuts in Yorkshire

[snotrag]

I've been doing some work on the CNC miller that usefully resides in our 'machine shop' (Cellar!) at home.

Does anyone know/work for/work with any suppliers in the area that might be able to help me with offcuts and small quantities of material? 3 or 4mm sheets, small-ish diameter square or round bar, that sort of thing? Grades etc not too important as I'm not doing anyhting structural, just 'tinkering'.

Preferably somewhere i could visit on a Friday or Saturday and exchange some cash for wrap of off cuts, that sort of thing (theres plenty of places that will sell me tonnes of stuff but its bloody hard finding reasonably priced small amounts for the DIY'er!).

Can I just say - home CNC - git!

Have you tried Blackgates Engineering in Dewsbury? They mainly do model engineering supplies but do have offcuts etc too.

I use a metalworker called ASM Fabrications at work. I can get their details if you'd like? Good bunch.
